hello, it's me.
It's two days after my 38th birthday; the Saints made it everybody's birthday, but I was rockin' the money pin.
Two years ago this week my number of dogs went up from two to eleven. Three puppies were adopted. The remaining six still live at home with their parents.
One year ago this month I started walking the pups daily, one or two at a time. They needed the exercise, but in all honesty I needed it more. In a year, I've gone from walking six dogs in two hours to running six dogs in just over an hour. Some days I take Ma & Pa Dawg for a run as well.
My rewards for all this dog-walking are many: Healthy, happy dogs, and a healthier, happier dog-walker. I've slimmed down from a 38-40" waist to a 34-36" waist (a size I haven't been since... what, junior high?). Daily exposure to sunlight has added color to my skin and hair. Exercise has also prompted me to eat better, and to drink more water.
It's quite fun to bump into people I haven't seen in a while, just to get their unprompted exclamations of how good I look. Total ego-booster.
Now, I need to go out and do something with this new & improved me.
